Anyone who had really looked at what patriotism actually is would understand it's a complex, multi-faceted thing that can take many forms for many reasons.

None of those forms include hating on minorities and wanting them to make them feel unwelcome in the country.

I think it's also plainly obvious that the majority of these flag statements are nothing to do with patriotism. When it's done at a time of political unease and is done in conjunction with anti-migrant discourse then it's not about pride in the country.

Sorry but anyone claiming otherwise is lying to themselves.
